-Hermione Granger-

"Wait so what happened?" Draco asks, confused. We are sitting in his living room and every now and then another tear falls down my wet cheeks.

I'm too tired and dehydrated to cry anymore.

"My sister..." I pause. This will be the first time I speak her name in two years... "Kara (Car-A) she killed herself..." My voices is shaky and scared.

"Why"

"I'm not sure... there was no note, her phone was cleared...she never told me anything" the last part is a slight lie...she did mention something to me once but I told her it's just how people are at that age. Mean and rude as fuck...

"Really? I thought you were close? Were you not?"

"We were..." I trail off and gulp. "She did mention something before, once though I guess..."

"That was?"

"I-I can't exactly remember.." my voice is shaky and I run my hands through my hair and tug it slightly. "Something about being called something.. a slut? A whore? I'm-I can't remember!!" I scream the last part and Draco slams his hand over my mouth to quiet me.

"Calm down" He growls at me and I look up to his stone eyes.

And So I do. I take deep, concentrated breaths while Draco goes to get me a glass of water. He said I looked pale and sick, I told him that the only drink I have had in the last 30 some hours is alcohol so he got me water.

I drink the glass crazy fast and set the glass back on the table.

"The last thing I ever said to her is..." I pause and sneer at the stupidity of what I said. "Don't drop it" I laugh at how stupid it is. I'm not laughing at the fact that she died, just how stupid my last words to my sister were. "She was carrying a vase that cost more then my apartment and mom would have killed her if she dropped it..."

If only I knew what I would walk in on after school.

"How did you find out she killed herself? I mean, how did they know."

"I told them" I say quietly. "I saw it happen"

"You did?!" Draco asks in belief.

"Yeah..." I take another deep breath and continue. "I came home from school, and I opened the door. In the living room i saw her. Tears were running down her face and she held a gun to her temple" I start to sob again. The blood, the memories. Everything fills up my thoughts and I hate it!! I just want to forget that it happened!! Or at least just forget the details!! "She saw me and panicked" I tremble and pull at my hair. "And she shot.."

"Oh"

"I ran over to her as she fell to the ground but I didn't say anything, I couldn't. I didn't know what to say and even if I did I would have been able to say it because of the shock" I wipe my eyes in annoyance, they won't stop crying! "I wish I had said something... like 'I love you' 'Please doent leave, I love you' 'I can't loose you' " I list off a couple of things that I could have said but didn't.

But all I really wanted to say was 'I Love You...

"I'm sorry..." Draco awkwardly says, not knowing what to actually say.

I wipe my eyes.

"Don't be" I close my eyes. "It wasn't your fault"

I look away from Draco's blank look and look down to my feet. It's weird telling him something so emotional when they don't even have emotions.

"Can I go home now?" I ask softly and sigh.

"No"

"What?! Why!"

"Because, your upset, I thought people didn't like being alone when upset"

"Why would you care if I'm upset" I choose my words carefully and he shoots me a forced glare. He can't even be angry.

"I would care , I don't care. Your our staying here." Draco stands up and grabs my hands, pulling me up with him. I stand with a groan and he raises his eyebrows at me.

"I want to go home" I pout to him and he shrugs.

"Oh well"
